is Coaches Jack Komora, Paul Demyanovich, and Don Zonno discuss a play pattern for an upcoming game. Basketball Academy's Varsity Basketball team tin- ished in a tie for first place in the city series competition with an overall season record of T2 wins and 8 losses. Highlights of the season were an over-time victory in the Prep game, 64-62, and the defeat of Tech 67-4l, avenging an early seasonp licking at their hands, 74-51. Outstanding features of the season were the ball-handling and shooting ot Miller, Woodard, and Harris, and the keen re- bounding of Neilson, Allen, and May. Next year most of the load will rest upon the shoulders of Allen, Harris, Thomas, Po- rath, and Catania, since many ot the boys on this year's team will not be returning this fall. And The score goes up another notch: Harris drives past Despite the maze of Tech jerseys, Porath goes through on driving Prep's Tomczak, lGY-UP- 26

Despite a poor finish which eliminated the little Lions from title contention, they were able to compile a creditable ll-5 record and a tie for second place in the Big Seven competition. Mr. Donald Zonno took over the reins as J.V. Basketball coach for the first time this season. Grove Beason and Ervin Reid led a well-balanced attack which carried the Lions to five straight victories at the beginning of the season. The outstanding game of the season was a 54-49 victory over the champion Tech Centaurs, the only game lost by the city J.V. champions. The performance of Ervin Reid, Karl Harris, Frank Potter, Grove Beason, and Jim Knowles, promises to keep Academy basketball on the upswing and carry the Blue and Gold to future champion- ships. Reid lets fly as Cermak, Knowles, and Gates observe approvingly. 28 f . .pay 3 , . 'fi 1' , ., , . t.. - - ' 'Q-K' lrp'i41':3'T7 ?-Aff -- . . Q . f Basketball J.V. Basketball: ROW I: G. Merryman, E.
